YOO2 is well located in the Botafogo neighborhood of Rio. It's a commerce center but also close to the port, although more desirable beaches are a bit of a walk. The check in was easy and ours was a little complicated. The staff was helpful, kind, understanding-it's the kind of place where everyone remembers you even for the few (5) days we were there. The rooms are clean and nice. The amenities inside are minimal. But when we asked for anything--towels, blankets--the staff was willing and eager to supply us. YOO2 provide the best breakfast buffet of any place I've stayed. The items are fresh, plentiful, re-freshed during the morning. 5 juices, several kinds of breads, pastries, jams and a plethora of entrees from simple eggs to more elaborate meat-based dishes. Wonderful fruits and more. Certainly added value to our room. The rooftop bar was lovely and although the weather was a bit prohibitive, the staff gave us blankets and towels, so we could enjoy the view. Overall we were very happy with our stay.
